Our History

Gwinnett Clean & Beautiful has been in existence for more than 35 years. In early 1979, the Lawrenceville Junior Women’s Club identified growing community concerns about illegal dumping and littering. They convened a group of 57 citizens in September, 1979 to discuss these issues and explore ways to address illegal dumping and littering. In 1980, GCB was born to educate and engage the public in efforts to improve our environment and quality of life.
